Bosnia-Herzegovina
From 1992 to 1995, this small State, which emerged from the break up of the former Yugoslavia, was devastated by war.
According to some sources, between 100’000 and 200’000 persons died during the conflict.
Ethnic cleansing, enforced disappearances, rape, torture, concentration camps: all of this commonly occurred or existed and little has been done to render justice to the victims. |  |
The Advocacy Center - TRIAL (ACT) has opened a small field office in Sarajevo beginning of 2008.
Several cases are currently under consideration by the ACT.
The aim is to lodge cases related to enforced disappearances and to lack of redress for war victims before the European Court of Human Rights and the UN Human Rights and Torture Committees.
